If You just got the keys to a house you bought.
Then Rekey every exterior door to one new key.
The seller, their agent and any tradesperson who held a copy are now locked out, and you carry a single key. Lock Rekeying
Locked out of a home or business, a key snapped in the lock or a lock that has seized: entry with the least damage, then the door secured again.
Lockouts
When you phone about an emergency we want three things: where the door is, what it is doing, and whether anyone is inside or at risk. From those answers we can say what tools to bring and roughly what the visit will involve.

Which fix fits?
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If You are renting, and the landlord says the locks were never changed.
Then Ask the landlord to have the locks rekeyed.
Tenants generally need the owner's agreement, and most landlords are glad to do it when asked plainly.
If A tenant moved out and did not return every key.
Then Rekey before the next tenant arrives.
It keeps the same hardware and closes the gap before viewings start. Lock Rekeying
